The most cattle cottage in the Anti-Japanese War

Chapter 894

This morning, Togo Yoshino, the commander of the Japanese 12th Army, received a call from General Haneda, the deputy chief of staff of the North China Front Army, inviting him to his office.

General Haneda is currently working in the office building of the 12th Army Headquarters, not far from Togo Yoshino's office, and Togo Yoshino will come over soon.

"Togo-kun." Seeing Togo Yoshino, General Haneda greeted warmly.

After taking his seat, Togo Yoshino said: "Haneda-kun, you look very good, do you have any happy things to share with me?"

General Haneda said: "There is a very happy thing, but it's not mine, but Dongxiang-kun's."

Dongxiang Yoshino asked with some doubts: "About my happy event? Where does the joy come from?"

General Haneda said: "I just got the news that His Excellency Minister Doi Madoka intends to promote you to the commander of the North China Front Army."

Dongxiang Yoshino said in disbelief: "How is this possible? Why haven't I heard the news? Commander Komura has not been in office for a long time, so there is no reason to replace him."

General Haneda said: "I also just got the news from Tokyo that the current Deputy Minister of the Army is scheduled to retire, and Commander Komura will return to Tokyo to take over as the Deputy Minister of the Army. The troops of the 12th Army recently captured Tai'an City, Dongxiang Minister Doi Madoka is deeply impressed by the way the monarch governs the army. He intends to promote you to the commander of the North China Front Army."

"So that's the case." Dongxiang Yoshino believed the words of Chief of Staff Haneda a little bit.

General Haneda said enthusiastically: "Congratulations Dongxiang-kun, if you serve as the commander of the North China Front Army, you will be my immediate superior. I will ask Commander Dongxiang to take care of you in the future." After speaking, General Haneda stood up and bowed to Dongxiang Yoshino .

Dongxiang Yoshino was in a good mood, and said happily: "It must be. If this is the case, I will also ask Haneda-kun to support me in the future."

General Haneda said happily: "Of course. I will do my best to assist Your Excellency the Commander."

Dongxiang Yoshino said goodbye and left. He walked to his office feeling overwhelmed with happiness.

However, he is also a veteran in the officialdom after all, and he still has to find a way to confirm such news.He also had his own connections in the Japanese base camp, so he asked a friend to find out the authenticity of what General Haneda said.

Soon after, news came from Tokyo.His friends had indeed heard about it.Dongxiang Yoshino believed it, and it seemed that this matter must be true.

He immediately reminded himself that he must be cautious at this critical moment, not to make any mistakes, and try his best to do something that can satisfy Shangfeng.

As the saying goes, give a pillow when you are sleepy. At this moment, Dongxiang Yoshino received a confidential telegram signed by Dohi Yuan, asking him to directly take over the command of the epidemic prevention and water supply unit transferred from the Kwantung Army, and to launch the first bacterial warfare in Shandong. To destroy the base of the underground anti-Japanese armed forces.

After Dongxiang Yoshino received such an order, he felt a little embarrassed.The use of biological and chemical weapons, which are prohibited weapons of mass destruction, still has certain risks. If it is under normal circumstances, he will find a way to shirk it.

But now, at the critical moment when he was about to be promoted to the commander of the North China Front Army, he thought twice and decided to accept this task.

However, he also kept an eye out and informed General Haneda of this matter, asking General Haneda to ask the North China Front Army Command for its opinion.

General Haneda immediately said that he would ask his superiors for instructions.

Soon after, he told Dongxiang Yoshino that the North China Front Army asked him to resolutely carry out the orders of His Excellency Minister Doi Yuan.

Since Togo Yoshino accepted the secret order of Minister Doi Endo, he was the one to make the decision on the specific implementation plan and related actions of biological and chemical weapons, and there was no need to ask the North China Front Army for instructions.

General Haneda has been dealing with Gao Jiu for a long time, and he knows that Gao Jiu has his own powerful intelligence network, and the matter about this batch of biochemical weapons may not be able to hide from his eyes and ears.Now that these biological and chemical weapons have arrived in Qingdao, how will they be transported to Jinan City?He reminded Dongxiang Yoshino to use his brain more to prevent Gao Jiu from intercepting him halfway.

Dongxiang Yoshino is also very afraid of Gao Jiu.All the 240mm heavy mortars shipped from Qingdao and Weihai were intercepted by Gao Jiu. He could vividly remember these things, and he couldn't trust the Japanese army in Qingdao at all.

After thinking twice, he called his adjutant and explained to him.

Gao Jiu and others came to the outskirts of Qingdao and found a village to hide temporarily.They are here waiting for news from Li San, preparing to intercept the Japanese army's epidemic prevention and water supply troops on the way.

In order to prevent accidents among the team members, including Gao Jiu, everyone prepared protective equipment such as gas masks and rubber gloves, and carried a flamethrower, preparing to directly incinerate the batch of biological and chemical weapons for complete destruction.

Commander Hirata soon sent news to Li San that the local Japanese garrison had dispatched a strengthened squadron to escort the anti-epidemic water supply troops from the Kwantung Army and the supplies they carried to Jinan City.

Gao Jiu always felt that something was wrong.The Japanese army has suffered a lot in their own hands. The last time the 240mm heavy mortars played a trick and were sent to Weihai.It seems a bit unreasonable to ship it directly to Jinan this time.

However, Gao Jiu did not have any more information to support his judgment. He believed that there was also the possibility that the Japanese army believed that their actions were very strict and did not expose the existence of the anti-epidemic water supply troops and the batch of biological and chemical weapons, so they directly sent troops. Sending to Jinan is also possible.

Gao Jiu discussed with Wang Zhankui and others, and decided to intercept this group of Japanese troops first.If the interception operation fails, think of other ways, and you can't just watch the Japanese army go to Jinan like this.

The information sent by Li San was very accurate, and he provided the time when the Japanese convoy left the city.According to the distance, Gao Jiu and the others set up an ambush on the side of the road in advance.

At 10:40 in the morning, the Japanese convoy drove over from the direction of Qingdao, and the Japanese squadron leader in charge of the escort was sitting on the first truck.He saw a heavy-duty truck coming head-on, and when it was about to pass the Japanese convoy, the truck stopped suddenly.The truck was almost sideways and immediately blocked the way of the Japanese convoy.

The squadron leader of the Japanese army realized the danger, jumped out of the truck in a hurry, and called the soldiers under him to get out of the car and prepare to fight.

At this time, Gao Jiu and others suddenly launched an attack, and the 82mm recoilless guns, rocket launchers, and a large number of machine guns and submachine guns quickly wiped out the Japanese escort troops.

However, the vehicles transporting the anti-epidemic water supply troops and supplies were not attacked. Gao Jiu was worried that if there were bacterial weapons inside, if the containers containing the bacteria were broken, it would cause large-scale pollution.

Therefore, they did not dare to use artillery to destroy it, and only allowed guerrillas with good marksmanship to attack the Japanese officers and soldiers on those trucks.

In order to prevent the Japanese officers and soldiers on the truck from putting all their eggs in one basket and forcibly carrying out biological and chemical weapons attacks, after destroying the Japanese escort troops, the guerrillas rushed up directly.

Due to the inability to accurately see the situation of the Japanese army in the truck compartment, the guerrillas who launched the attack were attacked by the Japanese army in the truck compartment, and guerrillas were shot and died continuously.

Regardless of the casualties, the guerrillas quickly rushed to the truck and wiped out the remaining Japanese soldiers on the truck.

The guerrillas hopped on the truck in search of the bioweapons, only to be disappointed.

The truck was only loaded with some ordinary supplies, and neither the batch of biological weapons nor the Japanese anti-epidemic water supply troops were found.

Gao Jiu knew that he had been fooled by the devils.This battle not only failed to annihilate the Japanese anti-epidemic water supply troops and destroy the batch of biological and chemical weapons, but instead lost seven or eight guerrillas, which made Gao Jiu feel deeply guilty.

Seeing that Gao Jiu was in a bad mood, Wang Zhankui comforted him and said, "The devils are plotting some tricks in the dark. We can't get relevant information. It's normal to miss. Master Jiu doesn't have to worry about it. I think those biochemical The weapons should not have been shipped out of Qingdao, and we just need to find a way to intercept them."

Gao Jiu nodded silently, and sent a telegram to Li San again, asking him to notify Pingtian and provide more accurate information.

Gao Jiu and the others were about to evacuate when suddenly he heard a gunshot, which was very weak and came from more than 200 meters away.

Gao Jiu twisted his body instinctively, and a bullet flew past his cheek.

He quickly ducked beside the car while shouting: "Enemy sniper."

Wang Zhankui and the guerrillas hurriedly took cover, looking for the location of the enemy snipers.

From the direction where the bullet flew, Gao Jiu directly locked the position of the enemy sniper.

The enemy's snipers were hiding behind a field ridge on the side of the road, 240 meters away from here.

Gao Jiu fired a shot, and the man hurriedly dodged before Gao Jiu shot, dodging the shot.

However, the guerrillas all discovered the position of the enemy snipers, and immediately shot there, suppressing the enemy snipers there.

Without waiting for Gao Jiu's order, a dozen or so guerrillas began to outflank the area from both sides.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the enemy sniper crawled back a few steps from the ground, then turned around, and the cat raised its back and wanted to escape.

Gao Jiu didn't give him a chance to escape, so he shot over, and hit the devil's sniper's bigu.

The devil's sniper was also very tenacious. After he was injured, he could not move.

Ning Wen and Ning Wu, who had been staring at him for a long time, shot towards him, and both bullets hit him, killing him.

Gao Jiu guessed that the Japanese army came prepared this time, and the devil's sniper should have followed the Japanese army's transport convoy, looking for an opportunity to snipe him.

He judged that since the Japanese sniper could track the Japanese convoy, he must have corresponding means of transportation.

He looked in the direction of Qingdao, and sure enough, he saw the front of a car protruding from the entrance of the village hundreds of meters away, and then disappeared.Obviously, the devil in the car saw what was going on here, and started backing up and running away.

How could Gao Jiu let them go? He pointed to the entrance of the village and said, "There is a black car over there, catch up with them, and don't let them get away."

The guerrillas got on their horses and chased in the direction of the village.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others rode fast horses and galloped along the road.

Not long after, they saw the sedan in front of them.

In a short distance, the speed of the war horse must exceed that of the car, but the war horse relies on physical strength. At the beginning, the guerrillas were getting closer and closer to the car.Then, as the car accelerated, the distance gradually began to widen.

Ning Wen rode on a horse, aimed at the car with a sniper rifle, and fired five shots in a row. The bullet penetrated the rear window of the car, perhaps hitting the driver of the Japanese army. The car drove to the side of the road and stopped. .

The guerrillas chased after them at full speed.

At this time, the car suddenly started to start again. It should be that the devils changed drivers and wanted to continue to escape.

The guerrillas also followed Ning Wen's example and fired wildly at the car, which finally stopped in the middle of the road.

Ning Wen, Ning Wu and others surrounded the car. In order to guard against the Japanese snipers inside, they shot fiercely at the car. They were sure that there would be no more living people inside, so they went forward to check.

Sure enough, there were three Japanese soldiers in the car, including a Japanese major, a second lieutenant, and a Japanese soldier. Each of them had been shot at least five times and had already died.

First, he hit the wrong target, and then he was attacked by Japanese snipers. Only then did Gao Jiu realize that he was really careless now.

He has occupied an absolute advantage on the battlefield for so many years, so it is inevitable that he will be a little careless.This time, because he underestimated the enemy, he was almost sniped by an enemy sniper. If Gao Jiu hadn't possessed extraordinary skills, he would have been sniped and killed by the Japanese sniper.

But the failure of this operation aroused Gao Jiu's interest. He wanted to see what kind of expert behind the devil could trick him this time.

While waiting for Li San's telegram, Gao Jiu was seriously thinking about the route for the Japanese army to transport biological and chemical weapons.

He believes that the Japanese army should not go directly to Jinan City along this road to avoid being intercepted again.If the Japanese army no longer took this road, what route would they choose?

Gao Jiu ordered Jia Liu to take out the map of Qingdao area. After careful inspection, he found that there were several roads from Qingdao City, and there were forks in the middle to turn to other roads. There were at least six roads leading to Jinan. Interception is difficult unless accurate intelligence is obtained.

He believes that the information provided by Li San and others last time was not accurate enough. Now that the Japanese army's fake transport convoy has been intercepted, the Japanese commander who planned this operation behind the scenes must be more careful, which means that Li San and others want to obtain Accurate intelligence is highly unlikely.
